A King Sworn in Silent Streets
In Maputo’s streets, so empty, so bare,
A king is sworn beneath the quiet air.
Echoes of struggle, of voices suppressed,
A nation divided, a people distressed.
The echoes of protest still haunt the air,
A nation’s voice muffled in muted despair.
Barricades fallen, but scars remain,
A fragile hope against enduring pain.
Daniel Chapo, with hand on the book,
Sworn to lead as hopeful eyes look,
A pledge to heal, to unite, to restore,
Yet shadows linger from battles before.
O New King, your burden is clear,
To lead with wisdom, to conquer fear.
To mend the fractures that tear us apart,
To earn the trust of a skeptical heart.
So rise with wisdom, lead with grace,
And meet the challenges you must face.
For a king is not crowned in words alone,
But in the hearts his deeds must show.
For the record,
total T-Bill bids received by the Mahama government since January 10, 2025, stand at GHS89.7 billion.
Of this amount, total T-Bill bids accepted—being rollovers of debt inherited by the Mahama government—stand at GHS59.5 billion, while total T-Bill bids rejected by the government stand at GHS30.2 billion.
For the avoidance of doubt, net borrowing by the Mahama government, as of today, stands at GHS7.1 billion. This is primarily a buffer for servicing maturing debts accumulated by the NPP/Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government.
It is instructive to note that actual debt accumulation under the Mahama government is virtually zero.
The prudent public debt management measures adopted by the Mahama government have led to a record-high drop in the 91-day T-Bill rate, from 28.34% to 20.79% in just 50 days—an emphatic vote of confidence in the Ghanaian economy by the investor community.
Please ignore the naysayers.
Today, I had the honor of witnessing the swearing-in of HE John Dramani #Mahama - President of Ghana. A remarkable event showcased the maturity of Ghana’s democracy and the importance of peaceful transitions and unity in building a brighter future. A proud day for #Ghana
On behalf of the Government and the people of the United Republic of Tanzania, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to His Excellency, John Dramani Mahama, President-elect of the Republic of Ghana, on being entrusted by the Ghanaian people to lead them as their President.
I am looking forward to working together, to strengthen our bilateral relations for the benefit of the people of Tanzania and Ghana.
@markgoldbridge Your man bought Mount, instead of a striker….then sold McTominay……loaned Sancho…. Then played Mount on the right. …. Let that sink in….
